Small Unit Tactics Rural Reconnaissance & Surveillance with TYR Group

Taught by: JOHN HURTH, President of TYR GROUP, Retired US Army Special Forces Soldier, and author of the “Combat Tracking Guide” published by Stackpole Books.

Hosted by Spartan Training Concepts

The TYR Group5-Day Small Unit Tactics Course is designed to provide hands-on tactical experience to individuals and teams. As a result, this intensive five-day Small Unit Tactics Course is aimed to provide individuals and teams the hands-on experience, proper mindset and tools to survive deadly encounters no matter the environment.

Armed and deadly confrontations are not survived or won by machines, weapons, or gear, but by the individuals and teams who use them. As a matter of fact, the best-equipped warriors cannot survive or win deadly confrontations without proper mindset and effective training.

Above all, our training and tactics emphasize fighting in close terrain. Furthermore, the principles, tactics, and techniques learned in this course will apply to most deadly encounters in a variety of environments.

Therefore, this Small Unit Tactics course provides its students the knowledge and experience to fight and survive. In essence, we build tacticians who will be capable of quickly analyzing a situation, to determine and apply the right tactic or technique, to aid in their survival.

For this reason, our instructors provide instruction based on years of knowledge and experience gained from fighting and surviving deadly encounters within small units.

Further, students who complete the course will be presented with a certificate upon completion of this 24+ hour course.

As an American Citizen I am growing very tired of elites like Robert Francis O"Rourke threatening me and my Natural Rights that are affirmed and upheld by the Constitution of the United States of America. I personally believe that Robert Francis and anyone else making these same threats are acting as domestic terrorists as defined under the 2001 USA Patriot Act, defined as "activities that (A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the U.S. or of any state; (B) appear to be intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and (C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the U.S."
Elites like this are exactly why our Founding Fathers secured our Natural Rights. In the 1700's they did not need to secure these Natural Rights for "hunting or sporting" as we are continually told. There was no Kroger grocery store on every corner to get your food, you grew, raised and hunted for it. There also was no 911 line to call and have Officers hopefully show while a crime was in progress, or most likely after to investigate. Having a firearm for these reasons was an implied, assumed and Natural part of life. They knew without a doubt they needed to secure our Natural Rights for the reasons so many had just fought and died for. To protect the Citizens against a tyrannical government. History had proven to them time and again what happens when a government reaches a point of disarming it's Citizens under the guise of security. This is nothing new, but for some reason a spineless coward like Robert Francis is allowed to make these threats to Law abiding Citizens exercising their Natural Rights knowing he would never do anything himself, but happily send Americans to kill and die for him if he had the opportunity, which thankfully he will not. Unfortunately there is no shortage of power hungry "people" like him that will do whatever it takes to continue to gain more.

Its always disappointing when someone sends me a piece of soft gear to demo and even though the material, sewing and overall quality is excellent it has a integrated molle strap with a snap. I wouldn't trust a snap to hold my damm pants on when bounding much less life saving gear. I guess that is why they sent it for a review but damm before it gets to that point have someone actually demo the prototype in a real world environment! Snaps on life saving gear are not for serious usage.

As a BJJ Black Belt I am regularly asked how I would equate BJJ belt rankings with firearms & tactical training. I have been hesitant to address this in a public forum since I know my assessment will offend many people. This is not my intention in any way, as in most any field of study the term "you don't know what you don't know" applies ten fold in firearms tactical training. It is a very long road and every time you think you have a well rounded skill set you get bitch slapped. That is of course only for those who are not afraid to humble themselves and continue opening the next door. For those who are paralyzed for a number of reasons, staying stuck in the same room without the balls to kick open the next door never have to worry about that.
In BJJ the adult belt system starts with white as usual and then moves to blue, purple, brown and then black with 4 degrees & years of blood, sweat and many injuries between.
The easiest comparison for me to set a baseline with is a Police Officer who has had no further training beyond the academy with agency specific required training and qualifications or a private Citizen with the equivalent amount of training. I would consider this level of training to be between a fourth degree white belt possibly up to a 1st degree blue belt, depending how serious they take it. With additional handgun, low light, TCCC, CQB and FOF training they could move to a 2nd to a 3rd degree blue belt.
Purple is considered an advanced belt in BJJ and in my opinion is a big step in a very long road. To reach this level in firearms & tactical training I believe one would now also need to become proficient in a back up gun, urban style fighting rifle, precision rifle and vehicle tactics with pistol and rifle, along with more low light and CQB training. This to me this would equate to a 1st, possibly up to a 2nd degree purple belt.
Moving up to a 3rd degree would require a more advanced level of training in everything listed so far.
To move to a 4th degree purple up to a 2nd degree brown belt is a big step. To me it would now require becoming proficient in precision mid and long range shooting, Small unit tactics, night vision and team CQB tactics.
To reach a Black Belt I would now add in Sniper and Counter Sniper training, Combat Man tracking and evasion as an individual and as a team, Unconventional / Gorilla warfare training and everything previously listed would need to be trained at an advanced level as an individual as well as at a team level. This would also need to be accomplished in all lighting conditions with white light and under night vision with the addition of thermal.
Once again this is not meant to offend anyones level of training, everyone began their training knowing nothing, no one came out of the womb fully trained. This is only meant to open peoples eyes who may not realize how much more there is available to learn. My hope is that as many honorable American Citizens as possible take their heritage seriously and become fully trained to protect themselves, their families, communities and the best Country on earth!

I think one of the most overlooked pieces of gear is the inner belt on a war belt. I often see people running a very high quality set up with a cheap inner belt and fastex buckle. I regularly hear people, even salesman say " why spend a bunch of money on an expensive inner belt when you can't even see it"
I believe just the opposite. When Iam running a wat belt it is a heavy load full of gear that I am trusting my life and others lives to. The only thing keeping that life saving gear attached to me is a good belt and buckle. Now I know many will say they have never had a problem but for me I have broken those same fastex buckles on backpacks and a plate carrier. I will never trust my life or others lives to them. They certainly have their place on gear but not as the only thing holding it on me. To me that would be like rock climbing with plastic carabiners. But that's just me, I brake things.

Earlier this week while getting gas at one end of a mall I observed a man dressed in all black including his backpack & wearing a large fixed blade knife on his belt. Now I certainly applaud someone carrying a large fixed blade but this cat was sketchy. He was wondering around the parking lot moving quickly and randomly without purpose. He would quickly walk up near someone then abruptly turn the opposite direction. I observed him for a bit through compact bino's while I waited. He traveled toward other side of the strip about 150 - 200 yards away or so. If he had started doing what I thought he may, he was gonna get a special delivery of 75 grains to the dome, courtesy of Noveske!!!
To me if you carry a rifle in your vehicle for the protection of yourself and others what good is it if you and the rifle can not identify that man in a crowded lot and take a possible precision hostage CNS shot in the same type of scenario as I described above.
